A British woman nearly faced charges of financing terrorist groups because of the name of an Arab horse she owned and her passion for the ancient Egyptian civilization.
The “Daily Mail” newspaper said that Suzanne Govindasamy, 57, was stunned and surprised when the international police “Interpol” and the money transfer company “PayPal” questioned her about the reason for sending money to the terrorist organization ISIS.
The story began when Susan sent a sum of £ 500 to her horse trainer friend via PayPal, and she had written in the form “Money for Isis,” which is an abbreviation for the name “ISIS” in English, which prompted the service supervisors to freeze the transfer.
Three days later, Suzan discovered that something was wrong with preventing the money from reaching the trainer who was overseeing the training of her 9-year-old horse, and upon calling PayPal to inquire about the reason, she faced a series of questions about why she had transferred the money to ISIS. “.
Here Suzan had to explain to them that her horse was named “Isis” after the name of an ancient Egyptian goddess, not “Isis”, which is the acronym for the terrorist organization ISIS.
She said she was forced to explain to the company and INTERPOL that she was paying this money to train her horse and was not financing terrorism.
Suzan, who previously owned horses called “Pharaoh” and “Nefertiti”, confirmed that she had to present her pet’s passport to prove that “Isis” is really her real name and that her full name is Isis bint Khadra.
